Without Kolar because the kolar try to flow the air on your inner of back side & after 70+ speed side of the kolar will hit your helmet & shoulder again & again. Which will disturb you’r driving. The kolar will flow on your back all the sands of the road. Color full sleve T shirt because it will help to notice you by the other drivers on the road for why accident can be avoid & full sleeve will protect your hand from sunburn.
